🕯 FRIDAY | STILL POINT #4
A Quiet Check Before the Next Decision
A Quiet Check Before the Next Decision
Before you respond to that message, pause.
Before you lead the meeting, pause.
Before you push for clarity, pause.
Ask yourself one question, honestly.
Where is my peace right now?
Not the polished answer.
The real one.
Peace isn’t the absence of pressure.
It’s the presence of steadiness when pressure is real.
When peace is high, obstacles feel workable.
People feel less like problems.
Your voice carries less force and more weight.
When peace is low, even small issues feel personal.
You rush.
You defend.
You lead from depletion and call it urgency.
The Peace Index isn’t a scorecard.
It’s a mirror.
Which area is quietly draining you?
A relationship left unresolved.
Work that no longer matches your purpose.
A pace your body can’t keep up with.
You don’t need to fix everything today.
You do need to notice.
Leadership doesn’t start with words.
It starts with the place you speak from.
And that place is shaped long before the conversation begins.
The power of the pause is priceless. A moment of silence in a moment of anger or confusion can save you 1000 moments of regret.
we will practice this in class today, promise 😉
